Casey Aldridge

After the crash, Casey was charged with careless operation of a vehicle after he drove his car off the road and into a ditch on April 26th.
A lawyer who is not involved with the case tells People that Casey will face a fine of about $175 and/or imprisonment for 30 days.
The lawyer says, "A typical sentence might be the fine plus court costs. He may not have a prison sentence. If he is given a prison sentence, it (his license) likely will be suspended."
The lawyer went on to say that the fact that Casey had four passengers in the car will affect the outcome because an accident with injuries would be considered more serious than simply running off the road into a ditch."
Do you think it’s fair that Casey could possibly face jail time? He was reportedly not drinking at the time, so it seems like this was just an accident. A fine seems plenty! The kid has already been through enough!

"Casey got home today, and he's doing really well," a source told People.
"He'll have to have some rest for the next few weeks. He's still got a headache, but everything looks good."
Aldridge suffered a head injury last weekend during a car accident following a bachelor party for his cousin. Fortunately he didn’t require surgery, but he was placed in intensive care for a few days.
Luckily no one was severely injured during the accident. Police ruled out drugs and alcohol, so it may have just been careless driving on his part. We're just glad to hear everyone is ok!

Doctors at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Miss., said they plan on moving Casey out of ICU as soon as Monday, according to People magazine.
"They said it was borderline whether he needed surgery or not," says a source close to the family, "but they've taken some scans and see no further damage."
The accident occurred at 1:30AM Sunday. Casey was driving his Ford F-250 pickup truck from his cousin's bachelor party towards Lake Bruin in Parish, Louisiana.
Three out of five passengers, including Casey, were ejected from the car during the accident, so they're all lucky to be alive. Police have already ruled out drugs and alcohol.
As for his baby mama, Jamie Lynn, she's said to be "holding up well." She was spotted at the airport Monday afternoon with her mother and daughter, but she was with Casey in the ambulance and spent most of her Sunday by Casey's side.
